Latin America grew solar power by 370% in 2014, expected to triple again in 2015

If there’s a place where solar power makes sense, it’s Latin America. The region has many problems, but lack of sun isn’t one of them. According to a report by GTM Research, the Latin American region (Mexico, Central America, South America and the Caribbean) installed 625 megawatts of solar photovoltaics (PV) in 2014, a 370% increase in annual growth over 2013, and it’s expected to more than triple again in 2015 with 2.1 gigawatts of additional PV (with half of it just in Chile).
